Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

For a Volvo T5 it should be metric 50mm. Edited by Sprocket on 1st Feb, 2009. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

ill try chipping off the plasticote finish if I get desperate, nothing seems to be going easy this week.... There should be no finish to the towball, it should be cleaned up back to bare metal and then lightly greased - unless using a stabiliser system that 'grips' the ball which require the ball to be clean and dry. If there is a plasticote finish it would wear off in use and then the coupling would become loose. |
